Important Safety Instructions
• Do not bend forward or recline while using Freemie, and avoid excessive movement. This could
cause leakage, loss of suction, and milk to flow into tubing.

bubbling sound as the Freemie is filling. There is a risk of overfilling if you are hearing impaired or
use Freemie in a noisy environment.
• Do not use Freemie if you must watch your milk ejection reflex or manually massage your breasts
while pumping to ensure that they are completely empty.
• Do not share. Freemie is a personal use item.
• Do not use Freemie in any situation that may be unsafe should you become drowsy or distracted
during milk expression.
• Do not use Freemie for simultaneous breastfeeding and pumping with compromised infants
without first consulting your healthcare or lactation professional.
• Do not continue to use Freemie if you experience pain or discomfort in the breast or
nipple while pumping.

Positioning Within Your Bra
The Perfect Bra Fit
1. Before choosing a bra, pump with the Freemie using your hands to hold in place.
Consider how much pressure you normally apply against your breasts to pump. This
pressure may be different when your breasts are engorged versus when they are empty.
To achieve the same pressure and sensation with the Freemie in your bra, it may be
necessary to adjust your bra or try different bras to get the best fit for you. A sports bra
works well for some women.
2. Your bra must keep the Freemie cups in an upright position and not allow the device to
slip around, sag downward, or tilt off to the side during use.
3. Place Freemie inside your bra with the Breast Funnel opening centered over the nipple.
4. Make sure you achieve a good seal between Freemie and your skin.
Bra fit is critical to the proper use of this device.
Correct Position Incorrect Position
Ensure nipple is centered in the Breast Funnel and not bent
or pinched off.

When connected to a
pump, tubing must be
in the 12 o’clock position.
Incorrect
Let tubing hang down
underneath your shirt.
Tubing may be cut to a
desired length in order
to conceal it under
normal clothing.
